somebody didn't have an umbrella today.

And it's me!

I like some of these. I'm proud of the Foley. They're dark and blurry, but history will prove: I am into that.
I am nauseated always. Is that a thing?







"can't weld a body" by Karine Polwart is my new fave song. Download it, if you like good music.

"I'm an emotional vegetarian. I know a lot of vegetarians and we like the same films."

Got up, got starbucks, on-demanded an episode of Coupling for the third time because I've never seen the end, said "fuck this apartment" three times. Average Sunday morning.

This is a funnier blog than the one you are reading right now. Greg Johnson was the name of my department manager when I worked general merchandise at Tops Friendly Markets. He used to always say the store manager "had a boner for me", which I found out a few awkward months later meant he wanted to fire me, and not what I thought it meant. It was a relief.

I think someone else my have my aol im login. I get kicked off all day for no reason, and occasionally I am logged in two places at once. I never really use it except once in a while at work and once in a while at home, so I might delete. I'm sure it's fine, but there's always that weird chance someone is pretending to be me. That would be pointless, and a bad idea.

Today I am doing a shoot where I'm a caller on a sex talk show, and then I am going to a "passion party". Let's hope my friends still respect me in the morning!!?!? Right?! Interrobang!? LOLerskatez! They won't.

It definitely had its highlights, and it certainly had its charm, but overall: fuck this week. Thank you for ending, week.

very nice

This is a sketch I was in this past Monday evening that was skillfully animated by Scott Bateman and graciously featured on salon.com. Not necessarily safe for work. I'm debating if I should send it to my mom.

(here are two websites I meant to add to my "what I am liking" update yesterday. dark roasted blend and neatorama. Fun diversions for when you are enjoying a coffee break while crunching the numbers, am I right?)

Here is a list of things I like:

I saw two strangers (man and woman) sitting next to one another on the subway wearing the same kind of shoes.
When I wake up and I am still kind of snoring and I hear it.
Salty pretzels.
Solid color v-neck knit shirts. I have a lot of them.
Xander's new spring hat.
.
That I have been waking up early.
This website.
My dry erase board which i have filled with inspirational mantras.
When people do and say things that are so funny I can't take it.
I got my tax return already.
Really old computers.
When good things happen to people i care about.

and that's how a bill becomes a law!

Pretty good, actually. Thanks for asking.

I looked back and re-read some old entries. Man, if you read this thing and you're still my friend, bless both our hearts.

Have you ever had one of those days where a bunch of good things happen to people you love (and maybe a little something to you, too) and you can't SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT? YOU JUST HAVE TO STEW IN YOUR APARTMENT AND WATCH THE BIGGEST LOSER AND MAYBE EAT PRETZEL RODS?

It's better than bad things, I say.

My niece is actually pretty hilarious.

Even though the movie was meh (Smart People) and the pretzel bites gave me and Tracey stomach aches, being able to put on some shoes and walk one block to a see a movie is pretty choice. I recommend it!
Look out little ipod! I spent three minutes and figured out how to get my music on here! problem solved!

I resolved my couch situation, so I get to keep it (technically), but I've had to tell the few people who responded from craigslist that it was off the market.

that stinks i would have bought it today and moved it today. i would have done that on wednesday too....oh well.

Well, I think your attitude stinks! NO COUCH FOR YOU! NOT TODAY WEDNESDAY OR ANY DAY!

a little austen

I am not, by the way, still reading sense and sensibility. It's just said that on my sidebar for a year. I really did read almost all of it before I realized it wasn't Pride and Prejudice, and then I gave up. (Also, Becoming Jane was pretty bad.) I have read books since then, I just haven't felt like updating my template. The last book I read was half of The Alchemist, which I picked up at the airport when they didn't have my penny press variety puzzle book* and my ipod froze and died and my flight was delayed for 3 hours. It's good. I should finish it.

I am alone in my apartment tonight, like most nights now. There are always strange noises outside my bedroom door that I am not making up that are real and are just the house settling, I know. I'm not scared like I used to get when I was alone at my old place, but it's still mildly disconcerting. I'm almost not too scared to go to the bathroom anymore, so that's progress.


*I just need a tweety sweatshirt and a gray perm to complete the look. And some sort of lanyard with pictures of my niece and nephews on it. Also, Dell press publishes one that is not as good.

not much, you?

One of my dearest friends came to see my wednesday show (yay that she came, boo to our tanky show) and she is about to become a part of something huge that will be a wonderful gift to her life, and I can't say anything (which is killing me) but it is so nice and so deserved. I like when good things happen to good people. And she is one of those folks who just busts her ass all of the time, and this opportunity wasn't even something that she was looking for. It was like she was busy facing one direction, and a bigger opportunity than she had imagined tapped her on the shoulder from another direction. The real gifts find you, sometimes, is what I find.
Anyway.
The big news in my life is I got Icee brand slushy freezey pops, and they are actually kind of gross. I like my frozen pops frozen, nomesayin?

I like this art.

This afternoon I am grounding myself. I have to sit and watch my netflix, eat self-prepared food and take a nap. Maybe I'll do some organizing if the mood hits me.
I also should blog. Because i should.

Here are some random items that aren't really worth a whole post on their own.

I can't get enough of M. Ward. It's awful.
Also, my friends put up a live version of The Wall again. Adam and Mo are both in it, and now I am listening to Pink Floyd. I am a little in love, especially with the guitar parts. I think that's ok.

I did a shoot today where I painted lines on my face with white out. It was my idea! White out is very, very hard to wash off of your skin! Ya haveta scrape it with ya finganails!

I played Civilization yesterday. The 70's board game, not the computer game. We played for 5 hours! And we only got to the Bronze Age! It was not the kind of fun I am used to having, but it was still kind of fun.

I need a pedicure.

There is nothing else going on in my life that I can think of at this moment.

Ok, One.

My to-do list. Note- "less drinking".



Parodies of Popular Horror Films by my Nephew, by accident, via my mom's cell phone.

The Ring


The Blair Witch Project

Have you seen this abdomen?

I don't remember who this is. I took this maybe three weeks ago. I am assuming it's Kevin Townley, but that seems too easy.

I loved my hair too, but . . . we needed to take a break.

Ah well.
